The Best Thermostat Settings for Energy Savings


Your thermostat has more power than you think — and setting it right can save you serious money. For Minnesota winters, the sweet spot is 68°F during the day (when you're home) and around 60–62°F at night or while you're away.

Tips for optimal savings:

  • Invest in a smart thermostat — programmable savings are real.

  • Avoid drastic swings — it takes more energy to catch up.

  • Layer up indoors instead of cranking the heat.


A few smart changes now can lower your bill and extend your furnace’s lifespan.
